Advaitic Songs is the fifth studio album by the band Om, released on July 24, 2012. The album has received a generally favorable response from both fans and critics, though its reception was more mixed than past works. The album has a 67 on Metacritic, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[6] Still, on sites such as Rate Your Music the album received a rating similar to their other albums.[7] Fans were also somewhat split over the album, as some felt it moved away too much from the band's earlier, heavier sound.[opinion] As with Pilgrimage and God Is Good, Advaitic Songs' album cover again visits Abrahamic Iconography. The cover of Advaitic Songs features an image of John the Baptist.
